What's Next

You have implemented the core equations of classical and statistical thermodynamics. Here are natural next steps:

• Quantum Statistical Mechanics — Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distributions replace Maxwell-Boltzmann at quantum scales.
• Chemical Thermodynamics — Reaction equilibria, electrochemistry, and phase diagrams using Gibbs free energy.
• Fluid Mechanics — Bernoulli's equation, viscosity, and turbulence build on thermodynamic foundations.
• Classical Mechanics in C — Extend your physics toolkit to Newton's laws, oscillations, and orbital mechanics.
